From Junya Watanabe to Acne to Bottega Veneta, denim appeared all over runways this season having been re-embraced by designers for spring and summer. The return of denim jackets was particularly notable while washed denim had several outings at the shows, reflecting the laid-back, unfussy vibe of the season.

With this in mind, the talented 18-year-old skateboarder and aspiring photographer, Mr Costa Kardana, seemed like the perfect man to showcase some of our favourite denim items that are currently available on MR PORTER.

Mr Kardana, who has been skating since he was age 13 and says, "As long as I can skate I am happy", performed moves we could only dream of pulling off - and showcased denim's original qualities of strength and durability at the same time.
